If, however many years after starting the project, we are in respectful disagreement about what the *&%$ highway tag means, then we are absolutely doomed. How on earth is anyone going to be able to rely on OSM data for anything if the meaning of the tags keeps changing? If dieterdriest has found a number of people who've been ignoring the definition, then he should tell them to fix the roads they've mistagged and to read more carefully next time. If I'd spent ages tagging a number of roads carefully according to a definition and then someone changed the definition so that a load of my tagging was now wrong, I would be most upset. We are far too late on in the project to be asking contributors to revisit every highway tag in the database to check it conforms to some new definition.
